This train is not touching the ground. At all. Japan’s maglev floats four inches above the track, held in the air by superconducting magnets, and in 2015 it hit 375 mph with passengers on board. A world record that still stands today. No wheels at top speed. No friction. No engine roar. Just a white bullet, flying inches above the earth. It’s not a concept video. It already runs on a test line near Mt. Fuji, and a full line connecting Tokyo to Nagoya is under construction right now. To put 375 mph in perspective: that’s New York to Washington D.C. in around 45 minutes. Leave after breakfast, arrive before your coffee is cold. The 20th century gave us planes that fly. The 21st is giving us trains that fly. And honestly? I think we’re just getting started. So dream with me for a second, America. If a floating train appeared in your country tomorrow, which two cities would you connect first? I’m reading every single answer.
